Braids, Betamax, and New Beginnings

Gen Matsuda

Oyuki's missing the whole Sunday… it's boring with just us.

Kintsugi Tachibana

Her grandma's birthday is important. She'll be back Thursday.

Shequita Matsuda

Oh my—Blockbuster flashback! I practically lived there after school.

Gen Matsuda

Mom, that makes you ancient. Did you rent caveman movies?

Shequita Matsuda

Excuse me—VHS tapes were cutting edge!

Gen Matsuda

Bet they had dinosaur late-fees bigger than my allowance!

Kintsugi Tachibana

If we find a dusty VHS here, we bury it—time capsule for future archeologists.

Shequita Matsuda

Say "old-school"! This clip's going straight to the family group chat.

Gen Matsuda

Mooom, not the internet—my coolness will fossilize!

Shequita Matsuda

Smells like 1998—plastic cases and popcorn dreams...

Gen Matsuda

It smells like Grandma's attic mixed with gym socks.

Kintsugi Tachibana

Gen—look. Original Kamen Rider Black. This predates my human form.

Gen Matsuda

Bet Oyuki's grandpa watched this. Think he'd remember the theme song?

Shequita Matsuda

Your dad and I watched this on our third date. He kept reading the subtitles aloud—ruined every twist.

Gen Matsuda

Did you love him already, or did Keanu Reeves seal the deal?

Kintsugi Tachibana

This man's bicep is the size of my entire childhood. Think I could order muscles from America?

Gen Matsuda

Mom tried ordering thigh gaps from America once—got cellulite and a gym membership instead.

Shequita Matsuda

One-day membership—for research purposes. Don't tell your father; he'll want to renew mine forever.

Gen Matsuda

Mom... you're not ancient. You're just... permanently stuck in reruns.
